Ok so I have searched and have not found what I'm looking for. I just want to know if there is any downside to using a 1984 318i strut housing on a 1987 325ic? Basically my strut housing got smashed and now I only have a 318i drivers side strut housing. I know that on the early 318's the strut diameter is different 45mm old 318's and is 51mm 87 vert... Besides that they look the exact same.
That being said is the actual strut any different? I just want a solid answer before I use the 84 housing. I already pulled it off today. I just don't want it be weaker on the drivers side. Or will the new strut compensate and just work harder on drivers side? This will only be temporary until I buy Konis in a month or so...
Thanks for any help.
